James Stavridis: Ukraine is running short of ammo. So is the U.S.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:31 GMT

As the war in Ukraine rages and with Kyiv’s forces likely to begin a major offensive any day now, both sides in the conflict are facing shortages of ammunition, electronic components, precision-guided weapons and even cement. While the West has a vastly larger overall capability to deliver the necessities of combat, snarls in the global commercial supply chain are beginning to manifest.The real “spring offensive” may not be tanks and armor, but upscaled weapons production in the factories of Ukraine’s democratic supporters. What should they be doing collectively to make sure the Ukrainians get what they need to turn back Russia’s illegal and immoral invasion? And what will be the impact on broader global supply chains?As the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s military commander over a decade ago, I would often look deep into logistics and supply chains as I contemplated our combat operations in Afghanistan, the Balkans, Libya and counter-piracy....

Strong winds cause problems for allergy sufferers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:31 GMT

ST. LOUIS – Gusty winds are causing allergy sufferers to struggle with all the pollen blowing around in the air.Our current allergens are the tree pollens being spread by Monday’s relentless winds.“With these kinds of winds, we’re going to have really high volume of pollen in the air,” said Dr. Barbara Jost, an allergist with Associated Specialists in Medicine. “And then for us to breathe in. Those pollens will stick to the cornea. It’s a set-up for lots of really severe allergy symptoms right now.”Jost says even those who don’t suffer from allergies can have a reaction on windy days. The wind creates a drying affect and carries additional irritants in the air.“Dust particles, dirt, grit. Those things really just pour salt into the wound of allergies,” she said. Dust storm closes I-55 in southern Illinois and causes massive pile-up Keep your windows closed and to limit time outside if you can.

Rockies’ April was a shower of mostly bad baseball

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:31 GMT

One month doesn’t make a season, and for that, the Rockies should be thankful.After winning the first two games of the season at San Diego to close out March, the Rockies finished April with a 9-20 record. It marked the first time in franchise history that they lost 20 games in April, and it was just the seventh time in 30-plus seasons they’ve lost 20 games in a calendar month.The Rockies’ .310 winning percentage is the worst in the National League and has them on pace to finish 50-112. While it’s highly unlikely Colorado will stumble that badly, a 100-loss season for the first time looms as a real possibility.The Rockies, naturally, say they’re ready to shrug off April’s shower of defeats that leaves them with a minus-54 run differential.“Seems like we haven’t hit our stride in any aspect this year,” first baseman C.J. Cron said Sunday after smacking a three-run homer in the Rockies’ 12-4 victory over Arizona. “Obvio...

Opinion: King Lear, Joe Biden and running the place at an advanced age

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:31 GMT

King Lear had a terrible time in old age, but at least he did not have to run for re-election. President Joe Biden officially, as of last week, has no such luxury.In Shakespeare’s play, whole acts go by without Lear’s subjects commenting obsessively on his age. Not a single duke or earl calls attention to any trouble the king might have had with staying on a bicycle. And only the fool gets away with mocking the king’s gaffes.It helps to be king.For weeks and weeks, innumerable commentators, pundits, and quotable political strategists have made it their mission to remind us that our president is very, very old. But now, on the grounds that I have been brooding about the dilemmas of aging for half a century, I am pleading for a personal exemption from this drumbeat of reminders.When I was a student at the University of California at Santa Cruz, I was a constant commuter between the company of the young and the company of the old. This began as an ill-conceived project for turning the ...

Everybody out east is waiting on the University of Denver women, the nation’s only undefeated lacrosse team left, to falter.Those naysayers may not want to hold their breath.Under the direction of 17th-year head coach Liza Kelly, the No. 3 ranked Pios have the highest ranking in school history and tied the program mark for longest win steak at 17 via a 12-5 victory over Marquette in Saturday’s regular-season finale.
